I got the quad in the air for the first time today and it flew great. The only thing that happened is i had one of the nuts that hold the prop on fly off and I was not able to locate it. I ran over to home depot and bought some m5 nuts with the built in thread lock but i can not get them screwed down tight on the prop because the prop adapter ends up slipping. Does anybody have any other ideas that i could use instead.

I had the same problem. About the fastest way to get extra prop adaptor's shipped to those of us in the U.S. is from Value Hobby. I think mine took about 3-4 days. Or, you can go to your LHS and buy the Eflite 1923. The problem is; you will have to drill-out the holes in your prop making them just a bit bigger because of the fat shaft/bolt on the adaptor. It looks funky (way bigger all around) but it will get you back in the air. Just make sure you tighten the holy living dog S out of it.

Hold on a sec...I'm not sure which motors you have on yours so your motor shaft may be different than mine. I have Turnigy 2826/6 on mine and the shafts are 3.17mm. If you have the same, here's a link for you:

Quick question... I went to page one to look at how many orders you have and noticed that my order #24 for the 700mm arms and extensions was listed as x4 on the arms but I ordered 6 to have a couple spares on hand. I'm hoping this is just a typo, but if not, no worries my brother I'm sure we can work something out.

Thanks,

Hi Pat,

I'm unable to remember for sure, but I'm afraid I only made 4 as per what I wrote on page 1. Anyways, you only need 4 to get started, so let me know what you receive and If you're short two arms I will get two made for you and in the mail right away within a day or two tops.

Oh and guess what I did yesterday.... I put the same motors you have on your 400 on my CNC 325. The little thing is a mad house. I may have time to post a video later today as I plan on taking a nice flying break from the workshop this afternoon.

Okay Chris, sounds great.

YEE HAW!!!

That babys gonna screeeeeeeem!

Looking forward to the vid. Btw I got the chance to go through your "how-to" vids and found them very, very, helpful. I would highly reccomend anyone just getting started in all this, to take the time and watch.

1- I think I will be good to ship remaining orders between #25 and # 37 on Thursday. Some payment request with videos have been sent. (This does not include order # 36 because the anodized black arms will not be ready on time)

2- I have dealt with the CNC factory and the notice I posted earlier about oxidation issues on anodized black center plates is no longer valid. All anodized center plates shipped will be in good condition and just beautiful. So that's not an issue anymore is what I'm saying.

3- New offer: Free set of skids (4 skids) to anyone who lets me know via PM that Tech69 is sending you PMs trying to sell a quad to you after you order from me. Serious offer. Your PM to me will remain between you and me.

Chris i just wanted to say thanks. I flew the quad today and it flew great until i flipped the switch into acro mode, lost my orientation and flew it straight into the ground. You were right though the frame will take some abuse. I did lose two propellers and i have some mud stuffed into the ends of the arms and packed into the motors. How do you remove dirt from a motor?
